93 KX 250 REAR FENDER?

[husqrider]

I THINK THIS IS AN EASY ONE , BUT I NEED TO ASK. IS THAT A 93 KX 250 R. FENDER ON THE BIKE AT THE HOME PAGE? IF THAT IS TRUE, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET IT MOUNTED  THANKS AGAIN

[Paul]

It sure is. THe fender is a UFO plastics piece and is for the 1993 KX250.

I've been busier than a one legged man in a a$$ kicking contest lately but will try to get that information posted tonight or tomorrow. It's actually very easy

What mods are needed?

[Paul]

You just have to trim the front edge of the fender until the airbox screwholes line up, raise the fender until it lines up in the subframe and drill two holes for the back screws. THEN... get your heaviest friend to sit on the seat because those bolts are hard to get in the first time.

Maybe your heaviest friend and his dog....and his brother, too.

The good thing is once you make the first time fit, you don't have to muck with it again, as it is easy after the first time.

One word of caution.  Trim small amounts.  I used a bench grinder to remove fender material a little at a time to ensure I did not take too much off.  The grinder makes short work of the plastic, so makes the triming quick and easy.

True, you're only going to trim an 1/8 to a 1/4 of an inch. Trim, test fit, trim, test fit...

Oops, then I trimmed too much.  Now that I see how it fits, the next one will be much improved.  Mine doesn't look odd, and the bike gets a lot of attention because folks are not sure if it is a 250 or a 500...until she lights up.  Then no one is confused.

I've got one on my bike.  Problem is where to find them.  Most major catalogs don't list KX 250 fenders back that far.  They seem to stop right at 94 and up.  Where's the best source for these babies??

[Paul]

Try your local Kawi dealer. I found mine hanging on the wall for $18

White Bros. catalog has them and I just ordered one. Hope it works!

Sorry to bring this  back, but we started talking about it in the recent rear fender topic. I got my 93' KX250 rear fender today, I haven't done any trimming yet but it seems like it'll need more than just the part that touches the air box. How about where the silencer comes out, the fender has a lip that looks like it'll need trimmed. Will the seat fit snug like the stock fender?

[Paul]

Yeah, you need to notch the fender for the silencer but other than that it looks and fits pretty d**n good.

[Rick]

On the first one I installed, I trimmed more material than required, but no one every noticed, and didn't matter anyway, so the trim work is not exacting.

Rick

[SLEEZ]

Thanks guys, I'll go out and start the trimming and let you know how it went.

[SLEEZ]

Well, finally got it on. It took a little more grinding than I thought. The rear of the seat wouldn't fit, I had to grind down the ridge where the seat fits into. Once done I was stoked because it looks so much better. I'll post some new pics once I get my ZTR kit.
